Yeah. I understand why he gets on people’s nerves and, personally, my hell is transpacific flights seated between to bible thumpers. But he’s clearly bringing the shit and, let’s not forget, he’s actually started and won NFL playoff games. The man has talent- raw and ill-focused perhaps- and people hating on him at…

If you read down below you’d see I did reply to the first challenge: Please search the archives of the Chicago Reader and Catalyst (an independent journal devoted solely to covering the Chicago Public Schools). Conditional requirements for diplomas was first floated while the Illinois legislature debated the 1995…

Obama also served on the board of Annenberg Project when they proposed and eventually drafted much of 1995 Chicago School Reform law (language regarding stipulations/requirements for graduation was dropped because, at the time, the Clinton/Federal DoE could only allow districts rather than states to apply for the…

Chicago Reader - either column on the issue or might have been excerpt from Catalyst Chicago (which was often quoted in City File and Hot Type).

He also made every female employee and student who ventured north of Noyes uncomfortable if not outright harrassed.

+1 blown lead

Interesting how he references ‘character issues’. If there’s a coach who is the poster child for character issues it was Denny Green. The man was a serial sexual harasser and left a long wake of legal recriminations- most of which never saw the light of day- for every one of his former employers, going all the way…

Another tragedy caused by 300 years of white oppression. Shit like this never happened when the Big O was in the White House. Fuck you Trump.

Why isn’t The Root carrying this? Both troopers are black.

Yeah I was fine with the attitude that this might be overkill and letting the man get on with his life. But:

And yet somehow, a single-payer, federalized health care system is supposed to be a no-brainer sure-win for everyone?
